Description

Like many things Australian, the Penguin Parade is a unique event in the world. Every evening at dusk the little penguins come home from the sea to Phillip Island. From the waves across the beach to the sand dunes, the little penguins can almost be touched as they waddle to their burrows. Sunset at Summerland Beach has drawn millions of visitors to Phillip Island to watch this phenomenon. The quirky nightly ritual of these little flightless birds will enthrall you as you observe from the beach and the elevated boardwalk. Koalas, one of Australias most beloved animals, peer down from the gum trees where they live. Fat and furry, wet little noses, and a gentle smiles signal a content life on Phillip Island. Keep an eye out for the seals near the sea basking in the late sunlight on halftide rocks.
